- In the criminal justice
system,

sexually based offenses

are considered
especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate
these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad

known as
the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

- Service!

Service!

Marco, you little putz!

When I say service,
that plate better fly off

this counter!
Is that clear?

- Yes, Chef.

- People!
all: Yes, Chef!

- One lobster tail
and squid ink.

Two striped bass,
one surf and turf.

all: Yes, Chef.

are getting antsy.

- Mmm.

Com'n.

- Brian Matthews
and Niraj Patel.

They produce that new
kids' cooking show

on the Food Network.
- And about five other things.

- Mm-hmm.
- Time to show the love.

- Allow me to introduce
our Chef, Andrew Liebowitz.

- Welcome to Far Rockaway
by Andrew, gentlemen.

Broad Channel prawns
on artisanal polenta...

- Ooh, looks wonderful.

- And octopus with
deconstructed coleslaw.

- Oh, looks fantastic,
Chef.

- Oh, and that fluke crudo
blew us away, man.

It was great.
- Just wait till dessert.

There's a three-berry shortcake
that'll give you both wood.

- Can we get you anything
in the meantime, gentlemen?

- I think we're good.

- Hey, can you guys hang out
for a bit after dinner?

Ha. We're wide open.

- Uh, Kayla here will show you
to our private room

when you're done.
- All right.

- That's gonna be awesome.
- Damn.

- They're olives.
- Yuck.

- Okay, you can
push them aside.

But Noah, remember,
we talked about this.

Remember we talked about it
being time for you to start

trying and eating new things?
- I want pizza.

- Okay, we'll maybe
tomorrow night.

But for now how 'bout
we eat tonight's dinner?

Try it.
You're gonna like them.

They're great.

- Hey!

Noah.
- I want pizza!

- To big tips at the bar
and in the bedroom.

- Cheers to that.

both: Mmm.

- No more tequila for me.

If I have any more of this,

I'm gonna end up
taking Marco home.

- Hey, why don't you sit
with us for a minute?

- Oh, if only there
was another chair.

- Oh, hey, look.

Don't listen to him.
Just run my card for me, okay?

Come on.

- Oh, hey, it's not that kind
of a club, fellas.

It's half the gig, right?

- Story of my life.

- So yesterday Dave text me.

He told Jasmine me and him
went out drinking on Saturday.

- It's one thing

but to look Jasmine in the ey--

- Come on!
- Get off!

- You gotta get out of the car.
- Get off!

- Get out of my car!

Everything's gonna

man shouting in background]

- Her name's Kayla Morgan.

We walked by just as the Uber
driver was climbing

on top of her in the backseat.

- The driver, Michael Boykin,

claims he tried
to end the ride.

Says Miss Morgan refused
to exit his vehicle.

- He said she seemed wasted.

He tried to help her
out of the car,

she starts whaling on him.

- No, but her shirt was ripped
like someone tore it open.

- You did the right
thing calling us.

- She put up a fight.
She busted the driver's lip.

- Guy says he wants
to file assault charges.

- Okay, let's take them
both back to SVU.

♪

- Look, I already told
the other detectives,

I don't remember much
about what happened.

- Did the Uber driver
try something?

- No, I--I don't think so.

- Patrol said that he was on
top of you when they arrived,

that you were fighting him off.
- I'm sorry.

I guess I passed out in
the back of his car, okay?

He startled me.
Do I need a lawyer?

- Don't worry about
that right now.

- Detective Rollins and I
are worried about you, Kayla.

Do you remember what happened
before you got into the Uber?

- Not really.
I just wanna go home.

- I didn't do anything
to that girl.

- Then why'd she
tee off on you?

- Ask her.
I'm the victim here!

- Yeah, well, those officers
seemed to think that she was

pretty pissed off
at you about something.

- I barely touched her.
- You tore her blouse!

- Well, let's--let's just
assume that she did.

- Well, then she's a liar!

Wait, you think
I tried to rape her?

I--I'll give you DNA.
Take--Take a lie detector--

anything!

- The girl gets in your car,
she's a hot mess,

and you just keep driving?
- I barely looked at her.

I was on the phone with
my wife the entire ride.

- You know we hate it when
you guys do that, right?

- I got to her destination
and realized something's off.

She was staring into space like
a zombie so I tried to shake

her out of it.
Help her out of my car.

But the second I touched her,
she attacked me

like some lunatic.

- I'm sorry, I just--This
is a waste of everybody's time.

- I know that this is difficult
and we're almost done,

I promise, but if you could
just give me one more minute.

- You remember how your
shirt got ripped?

- I had a lot to drink.

- I don't know.
It's fuzzy.

- And that is
completely normal.

Victims don't remember all
the details of their assault.

- Look, I'm not a victim.

- I think maybe you were,
Kayla.

- The Uber guy didn't
do anything, okay?

- Well, somebody did.

- I don't think so.

- Okay, great.
So, I'm leaving.

♪

- We checked Boykin's phone,
and he was talking to his wife

until the ride ended.

- Okay, what about
his Uber app?

- She got picked up
at 3:39 a.m.

in front of 300 Orchard Street.

- Which is a restaurant
on the Lower East Side.

Far Rockaway by Andrew.

- Yeah, it's a high end
seafood joint.

I actually took
a date there once.

Set me back a couple
hundred bucks, but...

- Every cent.

- Okay, so cut Boykin loose
and check it out.

- That's Kayla Morgan.
She waits tables here.

Is she okay?

- Friday's our busiest night.
We do 250 covers.

She wouldn't miss it.

- Uh, the kitchen
closes at 1:00.

I leave right after that.

- Did she have a problem
with anybody here?

- Not that I know of.

One of the servers
has a thing for her.

Marco, he follows her
around like a puppy.

- Did Something
happen to Kayla?

- She received a little
unwanted attention last night.

- You tell us.

- I didn't see anything.
Somebody raped her?

- What made you go there,
Marco?

- I know what SVU means.

- Well, what did you do when
your shift was done last night?

- When it slowed down,
Lizzy cut me.

I--I went straight home.
Our building has cameras.

You can check.
- Oh, we will.

- Yeah.
Did Kayla get cut, too?

- No.

She had to work
the after party.

In our private room.

She's serving drinks, or...

- Yeah.

Management likes to keep
the guests boozed up.

And happy.

- I work the bar,
and Kayla worked the room here.

- These after parties,
are they all work and no play

for you guys?
- Not exactly.

I did a few tequila
shots with her.

What she did with
the other guests...

- Did Kayla party with
anybody in particular?

- I don't know about partied,
but there was this one table--

a group of network execs.

They were getting
kinda handsy with her.

- No, they tapped out
on the early side.

- 2:30, 2:45.

- Andrew likes to entertain.

- When the party gets lit,

people peel without
checking in.

- When's the last
time you saw her?

- I dunno.
3:00-ish.

Uh, she went down
to the wine cellar.

Andrew needed
her for something.

- Hmm.

- Yeah, Kayla was helping me
shelf a crate of Burgundy.

We had a shipment
come in that day.

Oh, you guys wanna
try a Montrachet?

I spent two months in Cote de
Beaune studying the terroir.

This bottle was the pinnacle
of organic viticulture.

Plus, it's kosher.

We're on duty.
- That's too bad.

This stuff goes
for $800 a bottle.

- Hit me.

Tastes like warm apple juice.

- Hints of Granny Smith.

I'll put that
in my tasting notes.

- Okay, so what did Kayla do
after she was done

helping you down here?
- You gotta try

this Vermentino.
- Hey, excuse me.

Can we just get a minute

of your undivided attention,
please?

- Sorry.
Sorry.

I love cops.
You guys are solid citizens.

Not like these hedge fund
pricks and airhead models

that I have to deal
with in this place.

I'm all about authenticity.

It's why I started
Far Rockaway.

And it all began with a glass
of Manischewitz and a plate

of gefilte fish in my mother's
kitchen in Queens.

- How 'bout this for
authenticity--

We have reason to believe Kayla
was sexually assaulted

here last night.

- Yeah, and you were the last
person that she was with.

- Wait a minute.

Is she saying that I...

Oh...

That's what this is about?

I mean,
what happened down here?

She asked me to pop a bottle,
and I told her that I couldn't

stop staring at her
ass all night.

- Interesting way
to treat your employee.

Consensual sex.

- Yeah, well,
when we found her,

it didn't look
consensual to us.

Oh, she was begging for it.

I banged her up against
a crate of Bordeaux.

- Did you also rip
her shirt open?

- I buy the damn shirts.

Look, this was not the first
time that we screwed, even.

If she's claiming
that I raped her,

this is some kind
of shake down.

.

- It's our job.

- Well, I could lose my job
over this, okay?

I make six figures
at that restaurant.

- But is Andrew Liebowitz
the one that assaulted you?

- No, I--

It's not like that.

- Have a seat.

Okay, look.

It wasn't all rose petals
and fireworks,

if that's what you're asking,
but I am handling it.

- Andrew said that it wasn't

the first time
that you two had...

- Okay, once at the Christmas
party last year,

but that was a mistake.

- But the other night,
did he force you?

- It's not a black
and white thing.

When Andrew started
coming on to me,

I tried playing it off.
I even said no at one point.

But he didn't stop.

- That sounds black
and white to me.

- Oh, this is just how it is in
the restaurant industry, okay?

You wouldn't understand.

I should have just kneed
him in the balls.

- Kayla, it sounds like
your boss raped you.

- It is not rape
if I say it's not.

Okay, look.

I appreciate what you guys
are trying to do here, okay?

I really do,
but just stay out of my life.

Before you ruin it.

- Well, Kayla told him no,

but she refuses
to say it was rape.

Did he admit to pressuring her?

- He insists it was consensual
but no cameras, no witnesses.

- Look, she's not gonna
testify against him.

- Yeah, without
a complaining witness,

I can't move forward.

- Hold on.
Now, Liebowitz has no priors.

But he does pop up
on three separate 61s.

- No, Brooklyn SVU.

These all happened
in the past four years.

- Well, he's got a wine bar
in Park Slope.

- Yeah, three separate
employees accused him

of sexual assault.
- All right, talk to them.

See if we can stir the pot.

- Four years,
and now you wanna look into it?

- Why don't you just
tell me what happened?

- I'll tell you the same thing
I told the cops in Brooklyn.

I sommed for Andrew
at his wine bar.

And after hours I'd serve
him and his buddies.

It was actually a good job.
Great tips.

- I was a server for Andrew
before I got sober.

Um, one night,
I'm barely able to stand,

and he leans in
and plants one on me.

And I kissed him back.

But then, uh...

- One night Andrew starts
to get a little touchy-feely

and I tried to politely
turn him down.

But, hey, he's my boss.

- He said,
"You want that promotion?"

And then he...

got up and walked over
to the door.

- We head down to his office,
and immediately he's trying

to take all my clothes off.

And so I try to pump
the brakes,

but by then I'm so drunk.

He's tossing me around
like a rag doll.

- He pulled up my skirt.

I, um...

I tried to fight him off.

- He held me down so hard,
he sprained my wrist.

- I blacked out at some point.

Woke up naked on his couch.

- I tried to get out of there
as quickly as I could.

Andrew put his foot
on my underwear.

And he said,

"These...

These are for me."

- And as I'm getting
dressed to leave,

I realize that
I'm missing something.

That son of a bitch
pocketed my panties.

- Did Andrew ever
take anything from you?

- Yeah, like
an article of clothing.

- Oh. My thong.

How did you know that?

- Because unfortunately,
Lauren,

you weren't alone.

- That's even worse.

I'm stuck working in this
dive bar because Andrew

blacklisted me, and he's
walking around a free man?

- All three women reported,

but not a single
arrest was made.

Witnesses

- If Liebowitz would have
done this in Manhattan,

we'd have his ass
in a 6x8 cell.

- Now, the only constant was
this ADA named Chris Hodges.

He caught all three cases,
but he declined

to prosecute each time.

- Boy wonder prosecutor
in Brooklyn.

Big in the Me Too movement.

- Yeah, he runs some kind
of victims advocacy group.

- Rumor is he's gunning to run
for Kings County D.A.

- Mr. Kelly was acquitted
on all of the rape counts.

- But he was convicted of three
counts of sexual conduct

against a child.

- My client teaches in the
public schools for 20 years.

He attends church and
volunteers at a soup kitchen

which serves--
- I don't care if he

hand delivers Thanksgiving
turkeys and cranberry sauce

to every family in Brooklyn.

He molested
three underage girls.

That we know of.
You must send a message here.

- I agree with Mr. Hodges.

I hereby sentence him to the
maximum the law will allow.

Three consecutive sentences
of seven years.

Remand the defendant.

- Excuse me.

I'm Peter Stone.
I'm with the Manhattan D.A.

- Right.

- I saw your father speak
at a few CLE programs.

- Yeah, he, uh--he loved
a captive audience.

- He did.

- My office is investigating
a chef named Andrew Liebowitz.

- Same thing he did here,
apparently.

Why did you decline
to prosecute?

- Liebowitz is a real
piece of work.

I wish we could have
gone after him,

but all three of my
complainants had issues.

- My cops thought they
seemed pretty credible.

- You know, late disclosures,
no rape kits,

drug and alcohol problems,
uh, prior sexual relationships.

We can't waste time and money

on cases we'll never win,
right?

- Still, Liebowitz
seems like he pushes

the meaning of consent.

- Well, look, I hope you
fare better than I did.

Let me know what
I can do to help.

- Yeah, thanks.
- All right.

- I cannot believe that Hodges
of all people didn't move

forward with these charges.
Read this.

- He's convinced all three
cases are losers.

- There are no
perfect witnesses.

That goes with the territory.

- Fin and Carisi tell me he's
strong on women's issues.

- Well, he made a name
for himself busting a Russian

sex trafficking ring.
They even tried to kill him.

But a garden variety
prosecution of Liebowitz?

This is a no-brainer.
- Until you get an acquittal.

And that's all people remember.

To have any chance at trial,

I have to convince
Kayla to testify.

- No arm twisting, Peter.
- Oh, don't worry.

I've been watching someone
who's pretty damn good at this.

Hmm.

I'm Peter Stone.
I work with Lieutenant Benson.

- Oh, what is it
with you people?

- We found three
additional victims, Kayla.

They all worked at Liebowitz's
wine bar in Brooklyn.

- Great. So have them be
your poster girls.

- I can't prosecute
those cases.

They'll testify to support you,

but I need you
to open the door.

- And I need to keep my job.

- You need to take
care of yourself.

Do you really think
he won't do this again?

- I can handle it now.

- Well, maybe you won't have
to since he already has your

panties in his trophy case.

- How did you--
- It's about power, Kayla.

He's gonna keep raping
the women who work for him

until somebody stands up
and stops him.

- I don't think that I--

- I can't imagine how
difficult this is, Kayla.

My sister was murdered by
the people I was prosecuting.

I have to wake up every morning
and convince myself

that it wasn't my fault.

And the only way I can do that
is if I believe I can stop it

from happening
to somebody else.

- I used to love my job
at Far Rockaway.

My coworkers are my friends.

And I'm finally
making decent money.

- Andrew took all
that away from you.

Nobody should have
to pay that price.

- I'm supposed
to get paid tomorrow.

- You don't have to go in.

We can arrest him tonight,
if you're on board.

- These other women,
they're not gonna back out?

- No. I promise.

♪

- Okay.

Do me a favor.

Send the cops tomorrow
during my shift.

I wanna see this go down.

- Okay.

- That looks delicious.

- I'm arresting you
for the rape of Kayla Morgan.

- You ungrateful bitch.
You're fired.

- Where have I heard
that before?

.

- Indictment number 4363,
People vs. Andrew Liebowitz.

Rape in the first degree.

- How do you plead,
Mr. Liebowitz?

- Not guilty.

- Absolutely.

The charge is forcible rape.
We're asking for $2 million.

- That's punitive.

This is a classic he said,
she said.

- The People intend
to introduce evidence

that the defendant
is a serial predator.

There are three prior rape
allegations in Brooklyn.

- Those charges
were never filed.

- The People intend
to introduce them to establish

his modus operandi.

- Ah, Bill Cosby
all over again.

We'll hold a Molineux hearing
in my chambers to determine

the admissibility
of this testimony.

Bail is set at $1 million,
cash or bond.

- Three employees in the
defendant's Brooklyn wine bar

came forward with sexual
assault complaints against him.

Their accounts
are nearly identical.

- These women were plied
with alcohol or marijuana

after closing time as
a prelude to these assaults.

- A little wine or weed before
sex is hardly a one-of-a-kind

criminal signature.

- After the attacks,
the defendant took

an undergarment
from each of the victims.

You know, as a memento.

- You're getting warmer,
Mr. Stone,

but you're still
missing the big picture.

Modus operandi evidence
is admissible to prove

the identity of a suspect.
This isn't a whodunit.

It's a what happened.

- The fact that he did the same
thing on three--now four--

separate occasions demonstrates
a common scheme or plan

on the part of the defendant.

- No. It's an attempt
to demonstrate my client's

propensity to behave badly.

The ulterior motive behind
Mr. Stone's ploy is to have

the jury convict Mr. Liebowitz,
not for the allegations

in this complaint
but for his prior acts.

- Why weren't these three cases
prosecuted in Brooklyn?

- You'll have to ask
the Brooklyn D.A.

- Mr. Stone.

- There were apparently
questions about

the complainants' credibility.

- And why would I allow
them to testify here?

- It's up to a jury to decide
whether to believe them.

- Yes, but first it is up to me
to decide if the prejudicial

effect of this testimony
outweighs its probative value.

I rule it does.

- At least let me call one
of the Brooklyn women.

- All three witnesses
are excluded.

- Your Honor.

- Here you go.
- Thanks.

There's no way Kayla's
going to go this alone now.

- The Appellate Division
justices would laugh

in my face.

- So we're dead in the water.

- I'm afraid so.

- Look, I understand why Kayla
won't go toe-to-toe

with the man who raped her,
but Chris Hodges?

Chris Hodges is the go-to
prosecutor for Brooklyn SVU.

- Look, there were
some problems

with those disclosures.

There's gotta be more to it.

- Some prosecutors
talk a good game.

But the bottom line
is whether they win or lose.

- But not Chris Hodges.
That's not his reputation.

Peter, maybe--maybe you need
to dig a little deeper.

- Olivia, I--
- I'm telling you.

Something's not right here.

- We approach the bench,
and he's live streaming

the fifth at Saratoga
on his iPad.

I mean, that's why
they call me--

- Sorry to interrupt.
- Stone.

- Hey.

- Beer's fine.
- There's a great IPA on tap.

- Yeah, sure.

- Andrew Liebowitz.

- You kicked all three cases
in the complaint room.

- Mmm.

Well, I told you.
They were all buyer's remorse.

- Maybe you let a Grand Jury
make that call.

- Well, maybe I should
look at some of the cases

you declined to prosecute.

If I wasn't such a big fan,
maybe I'd tell you to get

the hell out of my happy hour.

You had one of the best
pick-off moves I ever saw.

Three variations
in your look to first.

Four different home counts.

That dummy move when you
came set at the letters--

forget about it.

- You're more than
the casual observer.

- Ah, Chris pitched
in high school.

- Three years on varsity.

- Uh, close me out, Davey,
while I hit the head.

It's about as intimidating
as the Mud Hens.

- Far Rockaway High.
In Queens.

Chris grew up out there.

♪

- Liebowitz and Hodges went
to high school together.

- That's why Hodges 86ed
the prosecutions?

- They lived around the corner
from each other.

Hodges' mom said they used
to drive to school together

every day.
- I'm bumping on this.

Hodges is all
about victims' rights.

- Don't believe the hype,
Amanda.

- He even spoke at
the Women's Day March.

- That just makes
him a hypocrite.

- So he'd risk his entire
political career to help out

this high school buddy of his?

- Maybe there's
something more to this.

- Did Hodges' name pop
on any of Liebowitz's

social media accounts?
- No, nothing.

- Where are you
going with this?

- This doesn't get
us over the hump,

but we know Liebowitz
is a habitual offender.

- So there must be other women
that he victimized

besides the three in Brooklyn.
- He opened his

Manhattan restaurant in 2013.
Kayla can't be

the first woman he assaulted
in that wine cellar.

- There's not a single
complaint in our database.

- Maybe they're getting
paid not to disclose.

We should run full court press
on Liebowitz's financials.

- Right, social and corporate.

Anything over three digits
that isn't his mortgage.

- I thought the restaurant
business was tough.

This guy's clearing over
2, 3 million a year.

- That's like cardiology money.

Just doesn't seem
like your type,

that's all I'm saying.

Broke?
- A little edge.

- Edge can be overrated.

- Liebowitz's backers
put up all the cash

for both his places.

- He did make a contribution
to Hodges' boss when she ran

for D.A. in Brooklyn.

- Rich gaming the system.
Same as it ever was.

- Yeah, maybe so,
but if he ever paid a woman off

to keep quiet,
it is not in here.

- We tell Liv and Stone
his numbers are clean.

And then we all go
try and get six hours.

- Mm-hmm.

- So this is everything
we talked about.

When will it hit?
- Tomorrow morning.

- Hey, Amanda,
would you like half

of my cinnamon raisin bagel?
- No, thanks.

- Amanda, listen.

I, uh--What I said
last night about Al,

I didn't really mean it.
- It's--it's no problem.

- I mean, I was just
busting your chops.

I'm really happy
you found somebody.

- Fin, we're cool.
Really.

- Okay.
- Hi.

You guys see this?

- Somebody leaked
our investigation.

- No, my money's on Liv.

- Mine's on both.

- "Before his
arrest in Manhattan,

"sources say Andrew Liebowitz
committed three uncharged

sexual assaults
in his Brooklyn wine bar."

- Okay, if there's
more victims,

then this is gonna
open the floodgates.

- I saw this this morning.

I want to report a sex crime.

He tried to rape me.

It was a long time ago,
but...

- No. Chris Hodges.

- I was 15.

This girl was having a party
because her parents were away.

She invited some kids
she knew from Far Rockaway.

- So...what happened
at this party?

- There were 10 or 12 of us.

One of the boys
brought tequila.

I remember winding up in one
of the bedrooms with Chris

The other man on

- Bethany, I know how hard
this is to relive, so...

Just--Just take your time,
okay?

- He pinned me down.

Put his hand down my shorts.

And the other boy,
he was saying things to him.

- Like a cheerleader.

"Go for it, dude."
Things like that.

And I was screaming,
"No, no, get off me."

But he covered my mouth.

Chris pulled down my shorts
with his other hand.

The other boy came over I think
maybe to give him a condom.

And that's when I pushed him
off me and ran out of the room.

- And this was the first time
that you had met Chris?

- No, I met him before.

I definitely knew his name.

And when I read the article
today and saw his picture...

- Okay.

And after this happened
to you, Bethany,

did you tell anyone?

- When I got home,
I couldn't think straight.

My dad was strict.

If he knew I was drinking
with older boys...

My therapist knows.

- Okay.

- I've been seeing
her for years.

She said I should
tell my husband,

so I finally did last year.

- And after all this happened,
did you confide in anyone?

- No.

But my friend Emily
was at the party.

When I got out of that bedroom,
I made her leave with me.

She could see
I was really upset.

- Okay.

Wow, I haven't seen her
since high school.

- Yeah, she said you two
were friends back then.

- Yeah, we worked
at the same summer camp.

But after high school,
we lost touch.

- Do you remember any
parties you guys went to

back when you were sophomores?

- We went to different schools,
but, um...

Oh.
It was that party.

- Tell us about it.
- It was downtown, I think.

There was about 30 or 40 kids.
A few of us from Far Rockaway.

There was a keg and at one
point Bethany came out

of the bedrooms and said
we had to leave right away.

- It's important that you tell
us what you remember.

- Look, I don't know exactly
what happened in there.

- Well, what did Bethany
say happened?

- That she was in one of
the bedrooms with two boys

from my school.

I'm pretty sure it was Chris
Hodges and Andrew Liebowitz.

She didn't tell me
what they did to her,

but she was shaking and I knew
something terrible had happened

but she wouldn't tell me.

She just wanted me
to help her find a taxi.

- Did you tell anybody
after you left?

- Bethany begged me
not to say anything.

Anyway, I was 15
and she was my friend.

I didn't wanna go
against her wishes.

- I'm done with your
Andrew Liebowitz problem.

- Yeah, well,
that's not what this is about.

- Well, then you'd better
have a damn good reason

for insisting
I come up here.

- You better consider yourself
lucky we didn't perp walk you

out of your own office.

What the hell
are you talking about?

- The girl that you tried
to rape in high school.

Excuse me?

- Bethany Fisher.

She was friends
with Emily Holmes.

That's a girl you went
to high school with.

- Yeah, I remember Emily.

This Bethany person,
I have no i...dea--

- Is this about a house party
like 15 years ago?

It's all coming back
to you now, right?

- No, but I know
one thing for sure.

I didn't touch that girl.

That was Andrew.
- Ah, that was fast.

- But you were there.

You were in that bedroom,
weren't you?

- We were listening to music.
- Mm-hmm.

- And Andrew jumped on top
of her and tried

to take her clothes off.

- And you just stood
there and did nothing?

I pushed him off her.

If it wasn't for me--
- "If it wasn't for me"--

Would you spare us
the self righteous crap?

We got two witnesses
that say it was you.

- Well, they've
got it mixed up.

I've never done
anything like that ever.

So best-case scenario,
you just kept your damn mouth

shut and you covered
your friend's ass?

Did you ever go to high school?
That's the code.

You have your friend's back.
That's the way the world works.

- Not anymore.

I'm part of the reason
things are different now.

- Or Bethany is telling
the truth and you're not only

the world's biggest hypocrite,
but you're also a rapist.

- That's laughable.

Andrew's been making
moves like this since he

was old enough to shave.

- Well.

- That remains to be seen.

But if you are
telling the truth,

then you had a chance to
stand up for Bethany

when you were
17 years old.

So one way or the other,
you're gonna make this right.

- Whatever you want.

- Good.

- Because I'm not gonna
let some girl

I never laid a hand on
destroy my reputation.

♪

- While you were with your bros

watching Saturday
college football,

you know where I was?

- Yeah, that crazy synagogue
with your grandma.

- Dawna Ruzinski's basement.
- No way.

- Yeah.

Nicest rack in
the class of '02.

How is she?

- Let's put it this way.

She taught me a few things.

- Which I know you
still put to good use.

- I can't help myself.

These girls that work for me,
they freaking love me, dude.

- Yeah, except when they don't.
- That's cold, man.

Thank you.

- Yeah, it's cold but true.

I shouldn't even
be seen with you.

I mean, what the hell, Andrew?
Another waitress?

- That's going nowhere.

- Hey, man.
I'm innocent.

- Seriously, did she
put up a fight?

- Just a little.
Just a teaspoon.

Enough to spice things up.

- One confession down.

- Yeah, now we just
need one for Bethany.

- You gotta behave,
Andrew, these days.

You're playing with fire.

- Well, lucky for me,

you're good at
putting them out.

- Yeah, well,
that's why I wanted to talk.

I can't protect you anymore.

- This time you didn't have to.

- Stone came to see me,
you idiot,

about the three Brooklyn cases.
I saved your ass.

Again.
- Thanks, man.

- But that's it.
I've got a PAC now.

I'm making a run for office.
- Okay.

I get it.
- I don't think you do.

I don't wanna get
Judge Kavanaughed here.

If that thing back
in high school comes up--

- At that party.

Bethany something.

- You mean the girl who
wouldn't let you screw her?

- Emily's friend.
The girl you practically raped.

- That was you, man.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

At the fancy townhouse.

- Yeah, we got her drunk
on tequila shots,

and you tried
to rip her pants off.

I had to pull you off of her.

- No, bro, you were the one
who was into that girl.

- You're thinking of some
other girl we did

at some other party.
- My God.

You're out of your mind.

- Now we have Hodges.

Mr. Me Too
is a serial predator.

Okay, guys, go.
Two collars. Go.

- You are just be--
You are confused.

- Not about that.

You were a pathetic drunk.

- Right, 'cause you were
some kind of saint back then.

- Compared to you,
I was Mother Teresa.

- All we did in high school
was think about getting buzzed

and getting laid.
- You did, not me.

- Oh, right, yeah.
You're still a virgin.

Yep, that'll help
get you elected.

- You son of a bitch.

- Andrew Liebowitz,
stand up.

Put your hands
behind your back.

I'm still out on bail.

- Yeah, not anymore.

- Your pal here
was wearing a wire.

- You son of a bitch.

- Well, you're next, Counselor.

- Well, you believe
that scum bag?

- I believe Bethany.

Your little rape partner
corroborated her.

- Don't you dare come near me.
Don't you dare touch me.

- I'm gonna do more than that
if you don't put your hands

behind your back.

- Yeah, that's a good idea.

You don't think

they're coming for you someday?

♪

- Good night.

- Oh, my feet have not hurt
this bad since I waited tables.

- I had no idea.
When did you wait tables?

- Oh, I was 16.
Aunt Betty's Cabin.

The best chicken fried steak
you've ever had.

You know, truth be told,
none of this culinary grab ass

surprises me.

- You were assaulted.

- Well, one of my regulars
wanted a little extra sugar

with his coffee.

Instead he ended up with
a raw steak on his eye.

- Good for you.

- Kayla.

- Hey.

I tried to call you.

The new sex crimes
prosecutor in Brooklyn

is reopening all the old cases
against Liebowitz.

Wow.

Um, I brought you this.
It's a thank you.

Ossobuco.

It's the house
specialty at Prospero

where I'm newly employed.
- That's great, Kayla.

- Congratulations.

- So, um, when does
Andrew get out of prison?

- If the new
prosecutor's any good,

he won't.
